Abstract

The construction of road tunnels and bridges have delivered driving efficiency and stability based on developed engineering technology. Tunnels have the advantage of reducing the deforested area compared with other road construction methods. Since a tunnel is an underground passageway dug through the surrounding soil/earth/rock and enclosed except for the entrance and exit, commonly at each end, it does not cause a large amount of deforestation. This study surveyed the deforested areas at each end of the tunnel by the design of the tunnel entrance and exit and forest topography to minimize the amount of deforestation caused by road construction. A survey was done on a total of 150 tunnels (300 entrances and exits) on several main roads in Korea. The deforested area of each tunnel was collected by a breakdown of the entrance area and the upper area of the tunnel. According to the results of Kruskal-Wallis analysis, it was found that there was statistically a significant relation between the location of tunnels and the amount of deforestation by the topographical access type of the tunnels. The tunnel with 'facing orthogonal to incline' type access caused the smallest deforestation while the the tunnel with 'facing to valley' and 'parallel with incline' type accesses caused large deforestation during tunnel construction. Tunnel positioning in the light of topography can reduce the deforested area by up to 1.5ha at each tunnel.

터널은 산림 훼손면적이 다른 공법에 비해 입구부와 출구부만 훼손하면서 도로가 지하로 건설되기 때문에 훼손면적을 줄일 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구는 터널 건설 시 산림이 훼손되는 터널입출구부를 중심으로 주변 지형과 관계를 살펴보고, 훼손면적을 최소화하고 지형 훼손을 저감할 수 있는 방향을 제시하기 위해 진입유형별 훼손면적을 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구는 국내 주요도로의 터널 150개를 선별하여 입구부와 출부구를 합쳐 300개 지점에 대해 진입유형을 구분하고 터널 진입부 훼손면적과 터널 상부 훼손면적을 산출하였다. 터널조성 위치에 따른 통계분석결과 진입유형별 훼손면적은 통계적 유의성이 인정되었다. 경사면직교형은 다른 진입유형에 비해 터널입출구부의 훼손면적은 작았으며, 반대로 골짜기진입형, 경사면평행형은 다른 진입유형에 비해 훼손 면적이 크게 나타났다. 지형을 고려한 터널위치 선정은 터널 1개소 당 최대 약 1.5ha 정도의 산림훼손을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 조사되었다.
